Sambice was a late 5th-century Iranian noblewoman from the Sasanian dynasty, who was the sister-wife of king (shah) Kavad I (r. 488–496, 498–531) and mother of his first son, Kawus.[1] Perhaps she can be associated with the wife (or sister) of Kavad I who helped him escape from captivity in the Castle of Oblivion in 496.[1]

In that period, the Persian king Kawad sent his son to a Manichaen school in their
country where he learned their doctrine and pledged to his teachers that if he should come to rule he would uphold their heresy. [The Manichaean teachers] said: "We will pray that you reign."

Now the boy's mother urged Kawad to enthrone her son during his own lifetime.

The king understood the reason for this and was frightened that other kings [in future] would heed [the Manichaeans] and that people would say that it was during his rule that Magianism had been destroyed. And so [Kawad] convened a great assembly and invited to it all the Manichaeans with their bishops and destroyed them. As for those discovered outside, he had them burned alive, and gave their churches to the Christians. This became known in Constantinople where there were also many Manichaeans. And an attempt was [g234] made — unsuccessfully — to turn them away from their heresy. They too, generally were burned to death.

[97] At that time General Belisarius was sent to Persia with an enormous force on the great feast of Passover/Easter. The Persian suggested that: "We should honor the feast day of the Jews and the Christians who are among us and refrain from fighting until the holy day has passed." However [the Byzantines] did not heed this request and began to battle on the great feast day of Easter itself. God's wrath fell upon the Byzantines who were defeated by the Persians, for many died in the river and many others were slain by the sword, and only a few returned home. After this victory, when Kawad died [A.D. 531], his son Khosrov [I, 531-579] ruled. His mother was tormented by demons and the mages and sorcerers were unable to heal her. She went to the hermit Moses [or, Simon], became Christian, was baptized and healed.

• from the Wikipedia page of her brother, Bawi:

According to Procopius, coins of Bawi were minted during the reign of Kavadh I (r. 488-496, 499-531) due to the marriage of the latter with his sister, and, therefore, he became the uncle of the future king Khosrau I (r. 531-579).[2][3]
